I am a seasoned consultant with over 15 years of experience, including six years as a Partner at McKinsey & Company. I have conducted hundreds of first and second-round interviews at top firms like McKinsey, Accenture, and PwC, and I know exactly what it takes to succeed in these highly competitive processes. I offer realistic MBB interview simulations, providing you with honest, personalized, and pragmatic feedback, just like in a real debrief. My priority is your success, not the number of sessions. I’m dedicated to helping you close the gap between where you are and landing your dream offer. With a flexible schedule, a private case library, and a network of coachees to practice with, I ensure you have all the tools to excel. I am also a business school professor and startup mentor, making complex concepts easy to understand. Let’s work together to get you where you want to be!

Hi! I'm Brad, an experienced management consulting applications coach. I lead my local office's recruitment processes on behalf of the firm’s leadership team for Associate Consultants (e.g. new graduates), as well as being the MBA school recruitment lead for INSEAD. I was also part of the Global Training Team and lead global training sessions for Associate Consultants, Senior Associate Consultants and Consultants, as well as being the lead trainer for the same groups for domestic training. Before joining Bain, I had significant interviewing a coaching experience outside of consulting, including hiring >30 FTEs across various professional roles (including private equity), coaching new police recruits on forensic shoeprint retrieval and interpretation at the New Zealand Police College and tutoring at the University of Auckland School of Medicine.

The boring/relevant background: I've worked at BCG and L.E.K. and have navigated the MBA and undergrad consulting recruiting processes successfully! The slightly less boring/relevant background: While at those firms, I worked on the recruiting teams (including performing interviews) and can thus give you secret and not-that-secret insight on exactly what firms are looking for. The "why you should trust me": I've worked with over 50 candidates that have gone on to also get their dream offers- including many without any case experience! The best news: You're certainly more qualified (and probably smarter!) than me and thus I'm certain we can make this happen! Let's get to work!

As an incoming Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company and a former Consulting Intern at Oliver Wyman, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities of breaking into top consulting firms, especially from a non-target school. I founded and lead Santa Clara Strategy, a consulting prep club at Santa Clara University, where I’ve helped students like myself—coming from non-traditional backgrounds—develop the skills and confidence to secure offers at top firms. My coaching is designed to demystify the case interview process and equip you with the tools to stand out in the competitive consulting world. Let’s connect and carve your path to success in management consulting!

I was in a pool of 300+ applicants for consulting while in business school and successfully advanced to final-round interviews for Bain, BCG, and McKinsey, eventually joining McKinsey's Denver office. At McKinsey, I participated on the recruiting committee, screening resumes, coordinating recruiting events, and serving as a buddy for new hires. I have helped 30+ candidates, providing personalized coaching on content, mock interviews, detailed feedback, and ongoing support. What makes me different: I have a rigorous, structured approach to preparing for consulting interviews. I have a full set of custom frameworks, tools, trackers, and content I can share to support your ongoing preparation. I provide detailed, in-line comments and line-by-line edits for your resume and/or cover letter, and I make sure you start with a robust understanding of the interview process and insights into different expectations across MBB firms.

Aspiring to join the consulting world but lack previous consulting work experience? Don't worry, I've been in your shoes. I'm Xuan, a successful consulting applicant without a traditional consulting background, ready to coach you on this unique path.

With firsthand experience navigating the rigorous consulting recruitment process – including being one of two selected for Dalberg, Geneva after three rounds of competitive case interviews – I offer unique insights into excelling at case interviews. At Harvard Business School, I was specifically requested by the Careers Service to coach peers in consulting preparation, helping many secure offers from firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Strategy&, and Kearney. My coaching blends lessons from my own successes and challenges with the expertise gained from years of mentoring professionals and MBAs. Students consistently praise my ability to provide tailored, actionable feedback that builds confidence, sharpens problem-solving techniques, and prepares them to excel under pressure.

In the last year, I launched my own consulting firm, advising clients such as the UK Government and a large US family office, and recently served as an Interim Director of Economics.
